Trying to build FreeRADIUS from Gentoo's package system, or manually building it from the downloaded sources and I receive the following errors: building manually: gcc .libs/radiusdS.o -o .libs/radiusd .libs/acct.o .libs/auth.o .libs/client.o .libs/conffile.o .libs/crypt.o .libs/exec.o .libs/files.o .libs/listen.o .libs/log.o .libs/mainconfig.o .libs/modules.o .libs/modcall.o .libs/radiusd.o .libs/stats.o .libs/session.o .libs/threads.o .libs/util.o .libs/valuepair.o .libs/version.o .libs/xlat.o .libs/event.o .libs/realms.o .libs/evaluate.o .libs/vmps.o .libs/detail.o -Wl,--export-dynamic /root/build/freeradius-server-2.1.8/src/lib/.libs/libfreeradius-radius.s o -lnsl -lresolv -lpthread -lcrypt /usr/lib/libltdl.so -lssl -lcrypto -ldl .libs/modules.o: In function `setup_modules': /root/build/freeradius-server-2.1.8/src/main/modules.c:1358: undefined reference to `lt__PROGRAM__LTX_preloaded_symbols' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status gmake[4]: *** [radiusd] Error 1 gmake[4]: Leaving directory `/root/build/freeradius-server-2.1.8/src/main' gmake[3]: *** [common] Error 2 gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/root/build/freeradius-server-2.1.8/src' gmake[2]: *** [all] Error 2 gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/root/build/freeradius-server-2.1.8/src' gmake[1]: *** [common] Error 2 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/root/build/freeradius-server-2.1.8' make: *** [all] Error 2 I found the following thread: http://lists.cistron.nl/pipermail/freeradius-users/2009-September/msg001 49.html I see that when I try to build manually I am getting basically the same thing. I'm the first to admit I may be missing something in Alan's notes about updating the freeradius source code. What I believe he meant was to update ltmain.sh in the root of the extracted FreeRADIUS directory. I made the following change: from: #define lt_preloaded_symbols some_other_symbol to: #define lt__PROGRAM__LTX_preloaded_symbols t__PROGRAM__LTX_preloaded_symbols I run make clean, configure, and make again, and still receive the same error. So I'm probably missing something in this step. When I try to compile from within Gentoo's package management tools, I get the following: gentoo emerge: libtool: compile: i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -O2 -mtune=i686 -pipe -Wall -D_GNU_SOURCE -DNDEBUG -I/var/tmp/portage/net-dialup/freeradius-2.1.7/work/freeradius-server-2. 1.7/src -DHOSTINFO=\"i686-pc-linux-gnu\" -DRADIUSD_VERSION=\"2.1.7\" -DOPENSSL_NO_KRB5 -c event.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/event.o event.c: In function 'wait_a_bit': event.c:1163: warning: implicit declaration of function 'pthread_equal' event.c:1163: error: 'REQUEST' has no member named 'child_pid' event.c:1163: error: 'NO_SUCH_CHILD_PID' undeclared (first use in this function) event.c:1163: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once event.c:1163: error: for each function it appears in.) event.c:1174: error: 'wait_for_child_to_die' undeclared (first use in this function) event.c: In function 'radius_event_init': event.c:3440: warning: unused variable 'attr' gmake[4]: *** [event.lo] Error 1 gmake[4]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/net-dialup/freeradius-2.1.7/work/freeradius-server-2.1 .7/src/main' gmake[3]: *** [common] Error 2 gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/net-dialup/freeradius-2.1.7/work/freeradius-server-2.1 .7/src' gmake[2]: *** [all] Error 2 gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/net-dialup/freeradius-2.1.7/work/freeradius-server-2.1 .7/src' gmake[1]: *** [common] Error 2 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/net-dialup/freeradius-2.1.7/work/freeradius-server-2.1 .7' make: *** [all] Error 2 Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find reference of this within the existing archives for FreeRADIUS. One thing to point out is that the Gentoo package is based off of 2.1.7 and when I attempt to build from source it is 2.1.8. Any help would be fantastic. If possible I'd prefer to get it working within the existing package system, using the build from source as a last resort. Thanks, joey
